State and Government in Ancient India c23.s5.3

c23.s5.3

We get ample epigraphical and literary evidence to reconstruct the picture of the administration from *c.* 700 to 1200 A. D. Northern India was divided into a number of dynasties during the greater part of this period, and we shall give here a composite picture based upon the evidence supplied by their records and by contemporary works on polity. This would give an insight into the nature of the general administration of the period, although the whole of it may not be true of any particular dynasty.
